It’s been a long day,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAjovAgle2Tu
and I’ve got little to say.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAt5HHt4dFAu
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAigIoz6GQZ1
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAlRmhaRZ3se
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31704Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ni0FPRtiL
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAuIC2Bo9UKq
1704Please respect copyright.PENANAuZkfREodd9
No words dared to part from our lips1704Please respect copyright.PENANArpP665IPD8
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAcgi7ml4Mdl
We listened to Music together silently,1704Please respect copyright.PENANANEUwZNAUgo
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAXuzVGF8F2K
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAoaNt93JuHU
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAygVyw5CbFu
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ86E9Mftb
I hear the chirping of the birds,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAUcaGa1SfvX
I hear their every songlike word.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAirpXh2RFRv
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAzoof0EwKai
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ0wI5dtDi
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAqC0tKxeDba
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAcr3sJTko8X
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAA4Id6NM4Iu
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1704Please respect copyright.PENANA7f8CDIk3Le
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAQpxVCfQp4w
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1704Please respect copyright.PENANA4mY2HwwL0q
I like to take things nice and slow,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAtdHU7ces9J
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1704Please respect copyright.PENANA3BhG1pjrno
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAXyHpey1rHV
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAY5zFSMSgw9
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1704Please respect copyright.PENANArU1Gsej6fY
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAJBUJNvEgvG
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAb2k9dc5Iti
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAY7O9bENWc9
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAGaNcF5QuQU
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAZHiYtX5Qnc
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAAhSy1HG2ds
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAwlQfx7qcgA
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1704Please respect copyright.PENANAycMmvRjvkl
while he may leave me behind as nothing more than a name.
In the end, the Music from my MP3, as it must, comes to a halt.1704Please respect copyright.PENANA5dYmrUCHyu
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAL9y2bx72de
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1704Please respect copyright.PENANA2pVwNdohhE
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAIrQQvQKgmO
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAOavbyKm3ZG
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1704Please respect copyright.PENANAEEBBdLLB1q
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1704Please respect copyright.PENANAa70gxgliiR
